Davidson College
Foundation
The Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who settled Piedmont
Carolina a quarter of a century before the Revolution brought
with them their love of liberty, of religion, and of learning.
The first culminated in the Mecklenburg Declaration ; the
second bore fruit in scores of vigorous churches and genera-
tions of godly men and women; the third led to the estab-
lishment of numerous high-grade classical academies, and a
half-century later burst into flower in the founding of David-
son College. Their patriotism, religion, and love of learning
are blended in every word of the motto on the College seal,
Alenda lux ubi orta libertas*
The originator of the movement was Rev. Robt. Hall
Morrison, D.D., at the Spring meeting of Concord Presby-
tery, in 1835. The Presbyteries of Bethel and Morganton a
few months later added their strength to that of Concord ;
the churches in their poverty soon raised over $30,000 for
the new institution, and on March 1, 1837, Davidson College
began its career, with sixty-six students in attendance, and
Dr. Morrison as its first President.
In 1855 Maxwell Chambers of Salisbury bequeathed
to the College a residuary legacy of a quarter of a million
dollars. The stately main building was soon erected at a
cost of $85,000, expensive apparatus and cabinets were pur-
chased, new members were added to the faculty, and the
College had entered upon a new era of prosperity and influence
when the Civil War called most of its students to the front.
The regular exercises of the College were not intermitted
during the war, though its students were mainly boys too
young to bear arms ; but of her munificent antebellum endow-
*r,et learning be cherished where liberty has arisen.
6 Davidson Collge Bulletin
ment of $260,000, only one-fourth survived the financial ruin
of the South. For nearly half a century the College had to
make up in zeal, untiring labor and heroic self-denial what she
lost in worldly possessions.
After this long struggle, however, a new day is beginning
dawn. A campaign looking to an increase of the permanent
endowment fund assumed definite form in the fall of 1908.
After nearly two years of earnest effort this campaign resulted
in the addition of $225,000 to the endowment, besides certain
additions to the material equipment. This amount was pledged
prior to June 1, 19 10, and the collection of these pledges is
now in progress.
Since the war $125,000 has been invested in apparatus,
laboratories, and additional equipment, and the College has
gone steadily onward with its work, training Southern leaders
in Church and State, at peace with its denomination and all
other institutions of learning, standing always for genuine-
ness, thoroughness, and unremitting study in an age of edu-
cational shams, easily-won degrees, and suicidal zeal for num-
bers, and giving to her students that liberal, hard-won, Chris-
tian culture which leads to broadened vision, intellectual self-
reliance, and spiritual power.
The government of Davidson College is in the hands of
a Board of Trustees, composed of 57 members. Fifty-one
of these are elected by the various Presbyteries of North Caro-
lina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida at their fall meet-
ings, and the remaining six by the Davidson College Alumni
Association. Each trustee serves for four years, subject to
re-election. The annual meeting of the Board is held at 9 a. m.
on Tuesday of Commencement week. Special meetings may
be called at any time by the President of the Board.
The officers of the Board consist of a President, Vice-
President, Secretary, Treasurer, Bursar, and an Executive
Committee of eight members, of which the President is e.x-
officio chairman. These officers and the members of the Exec-
utive Committee are elected annually by ballot by the
Trustees.
Davidson College Bulletin 7
As the size of the Board of Trustees unfits it for the
consideration and oversight of minor matters connected with
the work of the College, the practical management of the
institution is placed in the hands of the Executive Committee,
consisting of nine members. They meet several times during
the year, and exercise all the powers of the Board during the
intervals between the annual meetings, their acts, however,
being subject to the review and control of the Board of
Trustees.
Equipment
The campus is one of the most spacious and beautiful in
the whole South. It comprises more than twenty acres of
land, and thirteen buildings connected by a system of walks
and avenues shaded by graceful elms and giant oaks.
CHAMBERS BUILDING.
For half a century this stately edifice has been the center
of the College's life and activity. It consists of a central
structure facing the West, crowned by cupola and flanked by
wings three stories in height. In this building are the large
Commencement Hall, a suite of spacious recital rooms, appa-
ratus and laboratory rooms, large quarters for the museum,
and dormitories for one hundred and forty-four students.
SHEARER BIBLICAL HALL.
This is a beautiful and commodious building occupying
the site of the Old Chapel. It is the gift of the ex-President
of Davidson, and is dedicated to the memory of his lamented
wife, Lizzie Gessner Shearer. The second story is an attract-
ive auditorium seating five hundred people and is used as the
College Chapel. It has handsome seats, sloping floor, large
rostrum, and two dressing rooms. The first floor contains four
recitation rooms devoted to the humanities. The building is
heated by a Peck and Hammond furnace in the basement.
LIBRARY BUILDING.
The most attractive piece of architecture on the campus
was erected through the generosity of Air. Carnegie during the
past year at a cost of $25,000.00. This building is fitted up
with all modern conveniences and contains space for 50,000
volumes, and large reading and reception rooms, besides the
offices of the College administration.
LITERARY HALLS.
Each of the two literary societies has its own building.
Davidson College Bulletin 9
The second floor is an elegantly furnished hall devoted to lit-
erary purposes. The first floor contains recitation rooms and
several dormitories. These buldings are located symmetrically
with reference to each other and stand conspicuous in the
foreground of the campus. They are heated by furnaces.
THE RUMPLE DORMITORY.
This is a handsome new dormitory building of brick,
trimmed with granite, containing rooms for sixty students,
Each room has two large windows, three transoms, and a
special ventilating shaft. There are six large bath rooms in
the building, which is heated throughout by steam. No ex-
pense has been spared to give abundant light, air, and venti-
lation, with many conveniences.
THE WATTS DORMITORY.
Through the generosity of Mr. George W. Watts, a hand-
some new dormitory has recently been completed. It contains
24 rooms, accomodating 48 students. The building is of
brick and artificial stone, is heated by the direct-indirect sys-
tem of steam-heating, supplied with hot and cold shower baths
on each floor, and lighted and ventilated with special care.
Each room has its own lavatory with running water, two
closets, two large windows, and its own ventilating shaft. The
sun shines into every room every day, and each room is lighted
by a 25 c. p. electric light with ground glass globe and
reflector.
THE GEORGIA DORMITORY.
This is the latest, the largest and the most thoroughly
equipped of the Davidson dormitories. It is similar to the
Watts in general design, but is considerably larger, and con-
tains every sanitary comfort and convenience.
MARTIN CHEMISTRY BUILDING.
This building, named in honor of the late Col. W. J. Mar-
tin who was Professor of Chemistry for a quarter of a century,
is dedicated entirely to this one science. It is a two-story
io Davidson College Bulletin
brick building — 60x60 feet — with basement and attic, abund-
antly lighted, and is ventilated and heated by Peck and Ham-
mond furnace and draughts. Besides all the ordinary labora-
tory space the building contains a large recitation room with
raised floor.
MORRISON MEMORIAL HALL.
This building was erected in 1890 in memory of the first
president of the College. The second floor contains a large
hall for the Y. M. C. A. and smaller rooms for committee
work. These rooms have recently been painted and decorated
anew. The lower floor is for Gymnasium purposes. An
annex is for shower baths.
OAK ROW AND ELM ROW.
These two one-story brick buildings are among the oldest
landmarks on the campus. They are prominent in the fore-
ground among the oaks and elms and each has dormitories for
eight students.
CHURCH.
The village Presbyterian church, with large and attractive
auditorium and Sunday School room, occupies the South-west
corner of the campus. Here students, faculty, and congregation
meet for worship.
PROFESSORS' HOUSES.
The College also owns eight professors' houses, which
are conveniently located in the neighborhood of the campus.
WATER WORKS.
The College owns and operates a complete system of
water works. All dormitories, students' boarding houses,
laboratories, etc., together with most of the stores and resi-
dences of the village, are thus supplied with an abundance of
water. The supply comes from artesian tube-wells and is of ex-
ceptional purity, according to the report of the State Bacteriol-
ogist.
SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Through the generosity of W. H. Sprunt, Esq., of Wil-
Davidson College Bulletin ii
mington, a complete sewerage system, with septic tank, has
been added to the equipment of the College.
ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER.
From a sub-station of the Southern Power Co., the Col-
lege runs a private line to its own transformer station, where
the voltage is reduced to 220. All the College dormitories,
residences, and public buildings, the campus walks, the village
streets, and many stores and residences are lighted by this
system. It also furnishes power to both of the College pump-
ing stations and to the electrical laboratory.
HEATING PLANTS.
A central heating plant supplies the Rumple, Watts, and
Georgia Dormitories and the Library with steam heat. The
system is to be extended to Shearer Hall, and in the near
future to the other campus buildings.
BATH-ROOMS.
There are sixteen bath-rooms, with hot and cold showers,
cement floors, etc., on the campus, in easy reach of the stu-
dents. These are open and lighted till midnight, and no fee is
charged for their use.
THE WM. H. SPRUNT ATHLETIC FIELD.
Through the liberality of a warm friend of Davidson,
the College now possesses an exceptionally convenient and
well-graded Athletic Field, surrounded by a nine- foot fence,
and admirably located immediately in the rear of the Cham-
bers Building. The old Athletic Field at the south end of the
same building is also in daily use, and a part of it is to be set
aside for the building of a number of first-class tennis courts,
which are needed very much.
TENNIS COURTS.
Tennis is also a very popular recreation at Davidson and
there are fifteen or more courts located on the College grounds.
This number is to be doubled before the opening of the next
term.

Requirements for Admission
All applicants for admission should present to the Pres-
ident satisfactory testimonials of good moral character and sat-
isfactory evidence of successful vaccination. Students coming
from other institutions must furnish letters of honorable dis-
missal. No one under fifteen years of age is admitted, while
ordinarily seventeen should be considered the minimum age.
The average age of the members of the Freshman class is
above eighteen.
No young man who cheats on high school examinations, or
who drinks or gambles, is wanted at Davidson College, and it
is earnestly requested that the name and address of such be
not sent to the President. Only those should apply for ad-
mission who are willing to attend all college exercises faith-
fully and to respect the regulations of the institution.
To be admitted to the Freshman class in all subjects with-
out conditions it is necessary for the applicant to present 14
units of high school work. Each unit means that a student
has studied a subject (Latin, e. g.), a year in a high school,
with at least four recitations a week in the subject, the reci-
tation period to be at least 40 minutes. With four subjects a
student would make four units a year in a high school, and
twelve units in three years. No student should undertake to
enter Davidson who has not completed at least three years of
high school work under efficient teachers, and ordinarily he
should take four years. A student with proper testimonials as
to ability may, however, enter Davidson with conditions, i. e.,
with fewer than 14 units. In this case he will be required to
remove these conditions within two years, either by outside
study, or by pursuing first-year courses in Greek, French, and
German in College, that may be counted as part of entrance re-
quirements, such courses not to count toward a degree. The
14 units must be selected from the following lists:

For unconditioned admission to the regular Freshman
Class in the A.B. or B.S. courses 14 of the above units are re-
quired, as follows :
FOR THE A.B. COURSE.
English 3 units.
Latin 3 units.
Math. 3 units.
Davidson College Bulletin 21
Greek 2 units.
Elective 3 units (His., Science, Mod. Languages).
FOR THE B.S. COURSE.
English 3 units.
Math. 3 units.
Elective 8 units (Latin, His., Science, etc.).
All candidates for admission must present English and
Mathematics. For students who are deficient in their prepara-
tion in Greek or Latin or Mathematics, there is a preparatory
year given at Davidson in these subjects, though no one is ad-
mitted to college who is deficient in more than two of these sub-
jects, and a young man deficient in more than one of these is
urged to remain at his home preparatory school another year.
If a candidate is conditioned on not more than 6 units he
may be allowed to matriculate, but such conditions must be
removed before the beginning of the Junior year.
In the case of a mature man over 20 years of age wish-
ing to pursue some special course at Davidson, the Faculty
may by formal vote waive the ordinary entrance requirements.
ADMISSION ON CERTIFICATE.
The President will furnish on request blank certificates.
These, when filled out by the teacher, furnish a detailed
and complete account of the preparatory studies pursued and
of the student's class-standing, diligence, ability, and character.
They furnish a much more satisfactory and complete descrip-
tion of the applicant's state of preparation than a hasty exami-
nation, and when forwarded to the President before the open-
ing of the term, will probably render formal entrance exami-
nations unnecessary.
EXAMINATIONS FOR ENTRANCE.
Entrance examinations at the College are usually held
from 9 to 12 a. m., and from 2 to 5 p. m., on Wednesday of
the opening week.
They are both oral and in writing. New students arriv-
ing later may be examined on entrance, but all are urged to be
22 Davidson College Bulletin
present at the opening of the term. Much is lost by delay of
even a clay or two.
ADVANCED STANDING.
Candidates for the higher classes will be examined on all
the studies previously gone over by the class which they pro-
pose to enter. To no high school is given the right to enter
students to the Sophomore Class by simple certificate, and long
experience proves that very few high schools in the South
Atlantic States adequately prepare students for the Sophomore
Class of Davidson. Certificates of courses taken at regularly
incorporated Colleges and Universities of equal grade with
Davidson, will, in courtesy to these institutions, be accepted at
their full value.
GENERAL.
Every applicant for admission should send in his testimon-
ials, certificates, etc., to the President at least a week or two be-
fore the session begins, should arrive a day or more before the
opening hour, and immediately upon arrival shoud consult
Prof. J. M. McConnell regarding room. The next step is to
present the room-card to the Bursar, Prof. J. L. Douglas, pay
College dues and receive a registration card. The card must be
presented at once to the President who will formally register
and provisionally classify the student in accordance with testi-
monials previously submitted, examinations taken, and consul-
tation with professors in the respective departments. Any stu-
dent arriving after the opening day is required to report to the
Bursar and to the President in person within twenty-four
hours of time of arrival.
Departments of Instruction
The work of the College is embraced under fifteen de-
partments, eight of which treat of the humanities while the
other seven are in the field of science. Though the major part
of the student's time is devoted to matters intellectual, still his
physical nature and moral character are considered just as es-
sential in contributing to success in life in the highest concep-
tion of this term. Consequently the work of the College as a
whole is designed to develop to their utmost all powers with
which the student has been endowed — in short, to develop the
whole man.
Astronomy
PROF. J. M. DOUGLAS.
Course i — Genera! Astronomy. The aim of this course is
to exhibit the principal facts pertaining to our solar system,
with emphasis on the Earth's position in the system ; to furnish
some account of the great distant suns and of the various types
of comets ; to outline the methods by which this knowledge has
been attained. Along with text-books and lectures use is made
of telescope, sextant, charts and lantern.
Prerequisites: Physics i, and Mathematics 2: More ad-
vanced work in Physics and Mathematics is desirable though
not required.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
Biblical Instruction
PROFESSSOR SHEARER.
PROFESSOR SENTELLE.
MR. A. L. BRAMLETT. MR. W. P. PARKER.
The chair embraces the study of the English Scriptures
and the evidences of Christianity. These are all taught pari
passu until near the close of the course. The course extends
over three years of the curriculum. The leading object is to
master the contents of the sacred page, just as any other
24 Davidson College Bulletin
text-book is mastered, by careful study and class-room drill.
All the historical and historico-prophetical books are studied
in minute detail in both Testaments, and the poetical and
espistolary books are studied by ample reference through the
entire course.
It therefore embraces Bible History, Oriental History,
the Connections of Sacred and Secular History, Geography,
Archaeology, in the light of modern researches in the East;
Laws, moral, ceremonial, civil and social ; Typology, Miracles,
Fulfilled Prophecies, and the unities of Scripture.
Evidences of Christianity may be formally added as an
appendix to the course, though carefully discussed through-
out, and there is needed only a summing up and classifying in
systematic and scientific form, if the time permits.
METHODS.
i. The student is required to study the Bible, in set les-
sons, with the aid and direction of the Syllabus, which is a
brief analysis and table of contents of the lesson, in the Fresh-
man and Sophomore classes especially, and the class is con-
ducted with the same sort of drill work of question and answer
as in other departments.
2. The professor does not undertake to expound every-
thing to the classes as a universal commentator, but as occa-
sion offers, and as seems necessary, he gives such brief explana-
tion as may seem to suit the grade of the class and such as
time may permit without interfering with the proper drill work
of the class.
3. The fuller discussion of a great many matters is post-
poned until the third year of the course, when the student is
better prepared by his advanced training and by his enlarged
knowledge of the Scripture to study such things from a
bird's-eye view of the entire Scriptures. Formal discussions
by lecture are, therefore, largely limited to the third year.
4. This Bible course is in no sense a course of technical
and systematic theology. It is rather an introduction to a
theological course, furnishing the materials for such study ;
Davidson College Bulletin 25
while it also gives such knowledge of the Scriptures as would
seem necessary to all the learned professions and for every
educated man.
5. Doctrine, however, is not ignored. The study of the
Eible would be barren but for its lessons, which are the doc-
trines. It is the aim of the professor, therefore, to indicate
and to sharply define every doctrine of the Bible in its proper
place, as presented in concrete form, categorical statement,
or by fair and necessary inference, and as enforced by facts
and by the logic of events. This is the historical method as
contrasted with the exegetical method, and gives us the true
Biblical theology.
6. Every pupil is required to use note-book and pencil in
the class room, and take notes of explanations and discussions
by the Professor and to write out the same afterwards (for
inspection by the Professor) on the blank pages of the syllabus
book. In case of formal lectures the student is required to
write them out in full afterwards in a suitable book for perma-
nent preservation. This is of itself a valuable discipline for
the student.
7. The effort is consistently made to make this course
the unifying course of all genuine learning. The Bible is itself
the universal book, touching human thought and action at
every point. The professor, therefore, feels at liberty to tra-
verse every department of human thought and action for illus-
tration and elucidation of the sacred oracles.
Course 1 — Old Testament. This course begins with Gen-
esis and ends with the life and work of Samuel.
Three hours a week. Required of all Freshmen.
Course 2 — Old Testament. The course begins with the
founding of the Hebrew Kingdom, embraces ancient oriental
history as it interlaces with Jewish history, and ends with the
dawn of the Christian era.
Three hours a week required of all Sophomores.
Course 3 — New Testament. The life of Christ on the
principle of the Harmony of the Gospels; all New Testament
26 Davidson College Bulletin
History ; Bible Morality as expounded in the Sermon on the
Mount and elsewhere; the Unities of Scripture; Evidences of
Christianity.
Besides these things, the Professor conducts, by lecture
and references, review studies of the entire Scriptures by top-
ics, such as the Family, the Sabbath, the Sacrifices, the Cov-
enants, the Issues of Science, the Jewish Polity — civil, social
and ecclesiastical ; the synagogue, the Church, the Influence of
Revelation on all philosophies and religions, and topics too
numerous to mention.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
Biology
DR. J. W. MacCONNEIvIv.
J. S. SIMMONS, LABORATORY ASSISTANT.
Course i — General Biology. This course is designed to
give a general knowledge of the fundamental principles of
biological science such as is needed in a general education and
as a course for those expecting to study medicine in the future.
It consists of lectures, laboratory work and recitations and
the time given to each depends upon the immediate needs.
Attention is paid not so much to the details of animal and
plant life as to the fundamental principles of the science and
the properties of living things, their functions, structures, life
histories, and evolutions. A few selected forms are studied
as type animals or type plants to illustrate the generalizations
of Biology. A knowledge of Chemistry, such as is to be had
in an elementary course, is of advantage, and is recommended
in order that the physiological processes may be more easily
mastered. Special stress is laid on Economic Biology.
The work in Botany consists of the study of the struc-
ture and functions of plants and their taxonomy. The Yeasts,
Molds and Bacteria, together with the Fungi, Ferns and
Flowering plants are studied.
Davidson College Bulletin 27
The first term is devoted to Zoology and the spring term
to Botany. Laboratory courses are given in each branch.
Laboratory — One afternoon per week. The laboratory is
well lighted and each student is provided with plenty of desk
space and dissecting instruments and materials, and each has
the use of compound microscope for his work. Type animals
are exhaustively studied and dissected. The ones used are
the Amoeba, Paramoecium, Hydra, Clam, Crayfish, Fish,
Frog, Starfish, Fowl, and Rabbit. A brief course in normal
histology is given to familiarize the students with the use of
the microscope and with the character and appearance of nor-
mal tissues.
Three hours a week. Elective for Sophomores and Juniors.
Chemistry
PROFESSOR MARTIN.
R. B. HILL, B.S. J. B. THACKSTON.
R. S. CUNNINGHAM.
G. C. CURRIE, STOCK-ROOM ASSISTANT.
The course in Chemistry covers three years. The depart-
ment is amply supplied with apparatus and chemicals for
lectures, lecture experimentation, and laboratory work, and
the instruction is made distinctively practical throughout — a
constant drill in the habit of observation and of reasoning
therefrom. While the importance of lectures and recitations
is not lost sight of, the greatest stress is laid upon the work in
the laboratory, where the student is made to verify for him-
self (as far as possible) the laws underlying the science, be-
lieving that in this way alone will he get a true conception of
these fundamental laws and the theories offered in explanation
of them. Here the earnest effort is made to teach the student
to be thorough and exact and to use his mental powers as well
a^ his manipulative skill. It is expected that the student who
has completed the course in this department shall not only be
a chemical mechanic of considerable ability, but shall also
28 Davidson College Bulletin
have an intelligent knowledge and appreciation of the princi-
ples and laws underlying his work. The laboratory is open
daily from 8:30 a. m. to 5 130 p. m.
Course 1 — Elementary Chemistry. In class the simpler
facts of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry are taught by text
book and lecture, accompanied by experimental illustrations
and by laboratory work done by the student under the per-
sonal supervision of an instructor.
Oral and written questions are an important part of every
recitation, and written reviews are frequent.
The students are required to work by sections in the
kboratory one afternoon each week, and are taught to perform
and record accurately such experiments as best illustrate the
progress of their class-room work. The topics are selected
with distinct reference to their bearing on general principles
of the science; an earnest effort is made to ground the student
in the simpler of these principles.
Three hours a week besides laboratory. Elective for Sopho-
mores and Juniors.
Course 2 — Qualitative Analysis. The work of this class
is distinctly practical throughout. Qualitative Analysis
(based on Gooch and Browning) is taught during the first half
year (to February 1st). In addition to thorough laboratory
work, covering the metals, inorganic acids, salts, alloys, and
ores, the student is drilled in reaction writing and required to
devise methods of his own for the separation and detection of
the metals and acids. He is also constantly questioned as to
the reasons for the different steps and how best to overcome
any difficulties which may arise. A tri-weekly meeting of the
class is held for the discussion of the laboratory work as it pro-
gresses. While other conferences may at any time be had
with Professor or assistant, the wisdom of learning to be self-
reliant is persistently taught. Each student is required to
make constant use of the Chemical Library, which has had
large additions lately in the way of dictionaries, reference
irorks, and standard texts. To these, additions will be made
each year.
Davidson College Bulletin 29
After February 1st the class is engaged in the making of
inorganic preparations. In this synthetic work the student
is taught to make and purify a number of substances so select-
ed as to carry him through as many different kinds of opera-
tions as possible.
Renouf's Manual is followed, though methods not found
there are selected from other sources found in the library.
The work is under the constant inspection and criticism
of the Professor, and with the presentation of the sample of
his product the student is required to hand in a carefully pre-
pared thesis of his work. Stress is laid upon the reactions
involved and the overcoming of difficulties as they arise.
Three hours a week, besides laboratory. Elective for Juniors.
Course 3 — Analytical Chemistry. During the fall term
the work comprises the simpler methods of gravimetric and
volumetric analysis. After this the work is conducted along
lines suited to the needs and wishes of the individual student.
Courses in the past have been given in Mineral Analysis, Wet
and Fire Assay, Iron and Steel Analysis, Fertilizer Analysis,
Electro-Chemical Analysis, Medical Chemistry, Food Analy-
sis, etc.
Three hours a week, besides laboratory. Elective for Seniors.
Course 4 — Organic Chemistry. From September to Feb-
ruary 1st, Organic Chemistry is taught. The class meets
three times a week for lecture and recitation. An earnest ef-
fort is made to thoroughly ground the student in the underly-
ing principles of the subject and to give him a good grasp
of the classification rather than to require him to make an
exhaustive study of any set of compounds. Special attention
is paid to reaction work and to reasons for the acceptation
of the structural formulae given. The lecture work is supple-
mented by a laboratory course in the synthesis of such com-
pounds as best illustrate the most important classes and re-
actions. Orndorff' s Manual is followed in the laboratory.
After February 1st the course is varied. This year a
course in Industrial Chemistry is given.
Three hours a week besides laboratory. Elective for Seniors.

master of arts course.
Postgraduate: The work in this course is laboratory
work in the main, but in addition there will be text book and
lecture work along advanced lines, upon which the student
will be examined orally or in writing. The candidate must
have completed the Chemistry courses of the undergraduate
department and have received the B.A. or B.S. in this insti-
tution, or in some other college offering an equivalent course
in Chemistry. The work will be along the lines suited to the
needs or desires of the student. Independent work will be
encouraged, and an acceptable thesis must be presented on
a subject assigned.
English Language and Literature
PROFESSOR FULTON.
MR. MERCHANT. MR. J. M. CROCHERON .
The courses in English furnish instruction in composition,
literature and the history of the language. Their object is to
give the student ( i ) the ability to express his own thoughts
through spoken or written words, and (2) the ability to gain
aesthetic pleasure through his native literature. The courses
in literature seek to give, not merely familiarity with certain
masterpieces, but also to develop a love of literature that will
lead the student to read for himself. The more advanced
courses have, as a still further object, the cultivation of a schol-
arly spirit in literary work by pursuing specifically the study
of some particular literary topic or period.
Course 1 — (A) Types of English Prose. The features
and elements of effective writing in prose with especial refer-
ence to the fundamental forms. Weekly compositions with
individual criticisms. Analysis of prose specimens. In the
first term a few lectures and exercises in methods of inves-
tigation with especial reference to the intelligent use of the
library. The usual preparatory work in English composition is
in no way an equivalent of this course. All new students are
expected to take this course unless they show the clearest evi-
Davidson College Bulletin 31
dence of unusually good special preparation and attainment
in the subject.
(B) Supplementary Reading. Throughout the year the
class is required to read and write reports upon assigned works
of fiction, biography, travel, history, and poetry. The object of
this part of the course is to widen the scope of the student's
reading interests. Lectures point out what is interesting and
valuable in these different branches of literature.
Two hours a week. Required of all Freshmen.
Course 2 — A General Survey of English Literature, from
its beginning to the present time. The work consists of the
study of representative classics with lectures explanatory of
their historical connection. The course assumes acquaint-
ance with the classics required for entrance and endeavors to
sum up and knit together what has preceded and to add new
material to fill up the more serious gaps in the student's in-
formation. Every three weeks a written essay is required.
Several of these are based upon the study of literature, thus
giving practice in literary criticism.
Three hours a week. Required of all Sophomores.
Course 3 — (A) Oratorical Composition and Debating. The
structure and style of an oration ; the various types of orations
with anlysis of representative examples ; the history of ora-
tory. The principles of argumentation and the procedures of
debate.
(B) Linguisties. A survey of the principles of the life
and growth of language with especial reference to the devel-
opment and idiom of English as a living language. Lectures,
recitations, and assigned readings.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Course 4 — (A) Shakespeare — His life and times, his
personality and the development of his art. The study in
class of ten of the plays chosen to illustrate successive stages
in the dramatist's development; other plays assigned for read-
ing outside of class. Short critical essays required. Stress
2)2 Davidson College Bulletin
will be laid on the development of plot, the portrayal of
character, and the relation of character to plot.
(B) Victorian Literature. Tennyson, Browning, and
Matthew Arnold are studied among the poets; Carlyle, Rus-
kin, and Matthew Arnold among the esssayists ; and Dickens
Thackeray, George Eliot, and Stevenson among the novelists.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
French Language and Literature
PROF. GREY (IN CHARGE).
This course is designed to give the student an easy read-
ing knowledge of the French language, some appreciation of
the works of the great literary geniuses of France, general
acquaintance with the several important epochs of French
literature, and ability to read the works of the great scholars
of France in whatever line of study the student may desire to
pursue later.
Course i — (A) Elementary French. After two months
devoted to the elements of the grammar the class begins the
reading of an easy selection of connected French prose. Work
in pronunciation, inflection and syntax is carried along with
the reading of French texts throughout the year, and effort is
made to acquire a wide vocabulary. Composition work plays
an important part in this course. Among the texts read are
Les Enfants Patriotes, Le Petit Tailleur, Bouton, Recits de
Gue-»"e et de Revolution, Recits de la Vieille France, Sand's
ViTLev; an Diable, L/Evasion du Due de Beaufort.
Three hours a week. Elective for Freshmen wno are candidates
for B.S.
Course i — (B) Beginning French. This course is in-
tended for mature students who have been in college several
years. While the text-books are in part identical with those
in use in Course I (A), still, more ground is covered and more
advanced methods are employed.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors who have not taken
Course i (A).
Davidson College Bulletin 33
Course 2 — Literature and Grammar. This class takes up
Advanced Composition and Syntax, and continues work of
this kind throughout the year. The major part of the time,
however, is devoted to the reading of famous French literary
works such as Voltaire's Siecle de Louis XIV, Le Cid,
L'Avare, Le Misanthrope, Confessions d'un Ouvrier, Colum-
bia, Pecheur d'Islande, La Belle Nivernaise, Un Voyage en
Espagne, Le Romantisme Francais^ Hernani, Ruy Bias. The
leading epochs of French Literature are discussed.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
Physiography and Geology
PROF. J. M. DOUGLAS.
Course 1 — General Physiography and Geology. The fall
term is devoted to Physiography and the spring term to
Geology. The features of the lithosphere, and their forma-
tion, are carefully noted and explained. The laws governing
the hydrosphere and its action on the lithosphere are con-
sidered. The general principles of Meteorology are taken up in
connection with the atmosphere.
The elements of Botany and Zoology are taught by lect-
ures as a preparation for the study of Historical Geology.
About two hundred typical fossils are studied as a part of the
daily work of the class. A carefully prepared thesis on a sub-
ject assigned by the Professor is required of each student.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
German Language and Literature
PROF. HARDING (iN CHARGE).
The design of the two years' work is to have the student
read enough of the language in monthly parallel, in assigned
lessons for recitation, and by daily practice in sight translation,
to enable him to read off-hand and with some facility and ease
the ordinary German of today or that of the last few centuries,
34 Davidson College Bulletin
and in pursuing advanced study in any department, to use
text-books printed in German.
Course i — Beginning German. It is assumed that only
those who have had some training in the ancient classics or in
other language study and are more or less mature students will
enter the class. Hence capacity for quite rapid progress is taken
for granted and the lessons are gauged accordingly-
After a month of work in the element of Grammar the
reading of easy prose is begun, using Vol. II of Guerber's
Maerchen and Erzaehlungen, while the work in Grammar con-
tinues. Reading at sight is practiced from the start. Other
pieces of simple, easy prose follow, preferably stories and
novels, a great number of which, with convenient notes, exer-
cises, and vocabularies, are to be found in the various pub-
lishers' lists. In the latter part of the second term the class
takes up a Science Reader, or some other form of Scientific
German, a type of German less attractive but no less import-
ant, in fact quite necessary, especially for those that expect to
pursue post-graduate work at some of the great universities.
The amount of reading for the year runs from 360 to 400 pages
in the ordinary texts. No attempt is made to teach by the con-
versational method, the wisdom of which is questionable at
best, as the results are meagre and little progress can be made,
even though a third of the hour be spent in question and an-
swer with German as the sole medium of communication. But
there is a daily and persistent oral practice in the rapid turning
of English sentences into German. This work is largely sup-
plemented by written composition.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Course 2 — Literature and Grammar. The second half
of the Grammar, consisting of syntax, is completed, in con-
nection with daily written exercises. In the second term the
composition work is based on a German text previously read.
It is believed that such exercises are far more valuable than
any other for teaching the student the idioms of the language
and the niceties of expression, and for impressing upon his
mind the difference between his own and the German tongue.
Davidson College Bulletin 35
He has before him what is supposed to be a correct, if not per-
fect, piece of prose which he has to follow within limits, and yet
there are enough changes and alterations to exercise his mind
and develop his skill in re-shaping the original German sent-
ence.
The history of the literature occupies the class once a
week throughout the year. The manual is supplemented by
lectures and criticisms of authors, and by readings from
approved English translations.
The classical writers read in class or assigned for parallel
are Schiller, Goethe, and Lessing. As in the Junior year, some
scientific books, or extracts from newspapers, periodicals, and
reviews, as collected for example in Prehn's Journalistic Ger-
man, are also selected. The amount read in this class is from
725 to 750 pages.
Greek Language and Literature
PROF. HARDING.
MR. BLYTHE.
The minimum time in which a student can be prepared
properly for entering the Freshman Class in Greek is a full
scholastic year of five recitations a week. Those who try to do
the required amount of work in less time almost invariably
enter ill-prepared and unable to keep abreast of the progress of
the class. A thorough knowledge of the forms (including de-
clension of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, comparison of
adjectives, synopsis and conjugation of the two principal
classes of verbs), together with some of the elements of syntax,
and the careful reading of four books of the Anabasis, are
necessary for anyone who hopes to do successful work in this
class, and to derive any satisfaction and pleasure from it.
Course 1 — Beginning Greek. The elements of the lan-
gauge are studied as prescribed in a First Greek Book,
with thorough drill in forms and syntax. Reading of Xeno-
phon's Anabasis. This course is intended for students who
36 Davidson College Bulletin
have not studied Greek but who wish to take the A.B. degree.
It cannot be counted as a college ticket toward the A.B., but
ranks with fi. st year German or French in the requirements for
B.S.
Five hours a week. Elective for all students.
Course 2.A — Xenophon.. A page or more of Xenophon's
Cyropsedia or Hellenica is read daily, with explanations of the
simpler constructions of syntax. Correct and intelligent pro-
nunciation of the Greek text is insisted upon. The work in
the first term includes also the Grammar which is studied as
far as syntax, the time being spent wholly in thorough review
of the forms. Elementary study of classic myths as collateral
work. Through the use of word-lists special attention is
given to the formation of a vocabulary. Monthly written re-
views on the grammar and the text.
B— -Plato. In the second term, after another month in
Xenophon, Plato is read, chiefly the Apology and Crito. Study
of the grammar is continued, syntax now occupying the at-
tention of the class. Only one-half of syntax is studied this
term, but the attempt is made to master this half thoroughly
by memorizing both rules and Greek examples alike. Study
of Greek derivatives in English.
Four hours a week. Required of Freshman who are candidates
for the A.B. degree, elective for all others.
Course 3.A. — Herodotus. In the first term the class reads
Herodotus, preferably stories from Herodotus. Effort is
made to teach Attic forms and syntax by noting the historian's
variations from this standard. Review of the forms in gram-
mar; syntax with original exercises. History of Greece;
study of Greek life.
B — Homer. In the second term two books of either the
Iliad or the Odyssey are read. Homer's variations from the
Attic forms and syntax are carefully noted. The Homeric
hexameter is treated exhaustively and made familiar by daily
exercises in scansion. Continued drill in forms and syntax
and in the writing of Greek sentences. Parallel reading in
Church's Story of the Iliad and Story of the Odyssey.
Davidson College Bulletin 37
Throughout both terms careful memorizing of word-lists
is required, as it is believed that a good working vocabulary is
essential for the mastery of the language.
Three hours a week. Required of Sophomores who are can-
didates for the A.B. degree, elective for all others.
Course 4. A. — T line y did es (or alternate year, Demos-
thenes.) The text used in the first term is Thucydides or De-
mosthenes. As the authors read and the other parts of the
course vary with alternate years this election is open to a stu-
dent first as a Junior and again as a Senior. Much attention is
given to translation and literary form in order that the student
may acquire a sympathetic appreciation of the style and spirit
of the authors read. Parallel reading of Lysias or an author of
equal grade is required. Composition based on the text in
hand. Syntax continued, in part a review of earlier work, and
in part lectures by the professor. Systematic study of Greek
literature. Reading of English translations of Greek master-
pieces, especially of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
B — Greek Drama. In the second term, the class reads
Euripides and Sophocles, or Euripides and Aeschylus. The
work alternates from year to year. Study of syntax and ex-
ercises in Greek composition continued. Further reading of a
Greek text as parallel work. Study of Greek literature con-
tinued. Reading of English translation of the plays of Greek
dramatists. Elements of comparative philology. Lectures on
Greek synonyms. Study of the metres of the Greek tragedians.
Seniors taking this course will be expected to do additional
parallel reading.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors and Seniors.
Course 5 — New Testament Greek. When conditions
make it desirable, a course in Hellenistic and more especially
New Testament Greek will be given in place of Course 4, de-
scribed above. This course has in mind particularly the needs
of candidates for the ministry who feel that some acquaintance
with the Greek of the New Testament prior to the work taken
up in the theological seminary would be of benefit to them.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors and Seniors.

thousand pages of Greek text, liberty of choice being allowed
the students as to the authors he shall read ; written outline of
the contents of one hundred or more pages of the text that is
read ; a thesis representing original research in some portion
of the Greek assigned in regard to the author's style, diction,
syntax ; a final examination to be held when the applicant

The design of this department is to acquaint the student
with the leading facts in the history of those nations whose
civilization has directly or indirectly contributed to our own ;
to trace the development of American national life ; to attain
to an understanding of the more important laws ( economical,
political, social), that govern organized society; and to gain
some insight into the forces at work that tend to advance or
retard the well-being of society.
Course 1 — The Orient, Greece and Rome. This course
includes a general survey of the empires antedating Greece, a
careful study of the government of Greece and Rome, and of
the fall of the Empire under German invasion, followed by its
restoration in the West by Charlemagne (800 A.D.).
Three hours a week. Elective for Sophomores who are can-
didates for B.S.
Course 2 — General History. After a rapid survey, mainly
by lecture, of the history of Greece and Rome, there will be
taken up a careful study of the rise and growth of the modern
European States from the fall of the Roman Empire to the
present time. Special attention will be given to such important
periods and movements as the Protestant Revolution, the
Davidson College Bulletin 39
Thirty Years' War, The Seven Years' War, and the French
Revolution.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Course 3 — English and American History. The political
and constitutional development of the English and American
nations will be traced, and social, religious, and industrial
movements studied. The method will be largely intensive.
Course I, or an equivalent, will be required for admission to
this course.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
Course 4 — Political Science and Economics. The work
of the fall term is in the field of Political Science and centers
upon the political systems of England and the United States.
The organization and workings of both the general and local
governments are carefully analyzed and their relations dis-
cussed. As subsidiary to the main themes, discussions are
held upon ancient and contemporary governments, and upon
municipal problems.
During the spring term the principles of economics are
first presented in a general text-book. The class then studies
in greater detail some important topics in an additional work
of special nature. Topics thus studied have been the tariff, the
trusts, railways, and the labor question.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
MASTER OF ARTS COURSE
Post Graduate : This course is designed for advanced
students, and will include a careful reading, followed by a writ-
ten examination, of such authorities as Lecky, Guizot, Bryce,
Draper, Gibbon, Macaulay, etc. A student completing this
course, which will embrace about ten thousand pages, will be
awarded the degree of Master of Arts.
Latin Language and Literature
PROFESSOR GREY.
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR CURRIE
The principal aim of the Latin course is to give the stu-
dent the ability to translate with ease and to acquaint him with
40 Davidson College Bulletin
the grammatical and rhetorical structure of the language. In
addition to this, the student is introduced to the important
features of Roman history and literature. Thorough drill in
Latin prose composition is given in connection with all courses.
The study of grammar is carried on as regular class room work
through the Sophomore year. Students who, in preparing for
college, discontinue the study of the forms as soon as they
begin Caesar, are as a consequence almost invariably badly
prepared, and seldom make up the deficiency. Hence it is in-
sisted again that the study of the forms and case construction
be made a matter of daily drill until the student finishes his
preparatory course. Too much emphasis cannot be given to
this feature of preparatory work.
Course i — Curtius, Cicero, Livy. About forty pages of
Curtius are read together with Cicero's De Amicitia and De
Senectute, and Book XXI of Livy. Weekly exercises in prose
composition. Drill in grammar through the case constructions.
Bi-weekly exercises in translating easy Latin prose at sight.
Four hours a week. Required of Freshmen who are candidates
for A.B., elective for all others.
Course 2 — Cicero and Horace. Reading of Cicero's Pro
Milone, Horace's Odes, Book I, and Satires, Books I and II.
Study of Latin Grammar completed. Exercises in prose com-
position. Study of Roman history. Special attention is paid
to the meters of Horace.
Three hours a week. Required of Sophomores who are can-
didates for the A.B. degree, elective for all others.
Course 3 — Plautus, Cicero, Tacitus, Terence. Reading of
Plautus' Menaechmi and Pseudolus, Cicero's De Officiis, Tac-
itus' Germania and Agricola, Terence's Phormio. Special at-
tention is paid to the meters of Plautus and Terence. Ad-
vanced exercises on Latin prose composition. History of
Roman literature.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Course 4 — Juvenal, Terence, Plautus, Tacitus, Pliny.
Reading of Juvenal. Terence's Andria and Adelphi, Plautus'
Davidson College Bulletin 41
Mostellaria and Stichus, selections from the Elegiac Poets,
Tacitus' Annals, Pliny's select letters. Special attention will be
paid to the meters of Plautus and Terence. A part of the course
will be devoted to the reading of early inscriptions. Advanced
prose composition.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
Mathematics
PROF. J. L. DOUGLAS.
ASSOCIATE PROF. CURRIE.
MR. MERCHANT.
The work in this department extends through the entire
College course, and includes both Pure and Applied Mathema-
tics. Much stress is laid on the solution in writing of original
exercises designed to illustrate or to supplement the principles
developed in the text.
Course 1 — Algebra, Solid Geometry, Trigonometry. Ad-
vanced College Algebra is taken up at Quadratic Equations and
the time devoted to the subject is two hours a week for the
whole year. Solid Geometry is begun in September and work
in this subject continues three hours a week until spring, when
the subject is completed. During the remainder of the session
a start is made in Plane Trigonometry.
Five hours a week. Require of all Freshmen.
Course 2 — Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry. The
work of this class begins with the solution of the right triangle,
and both Plane and Spherical Trigonometry are completed by
the end of the fall term. The whole of the second term is de-
voted to Analytical Geometry and the subject of Conic Sections
is completed.
Three hours a week. Required of all Sophomores.
Course 3 — Analytical Geometry, Calculus. The first term
is devoted to the study of The General Equations of the Second
Degree, Higher Plane Curves and Analytical Geometry of
Three Dimensions. Differential Calculus occupies the class
during the second term.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
42 Davidson College Bulletin
Course 4 — Applied Mathematics. The subjects taught are
General Theory and Practice of Land and Topographical Sur-
veying; Determination of Height and Distances; Leveling;
Draining; Drawing Maps, Profiles, and Cross-sections; Calcu-
lation of Quantities of Earthwork. Recitations and field work.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Course 5 — Calculus, Determinants, Differential Equations.
The class is occupied with Integral Calculus the entire fall
term. The second term is devoted to Determinants, Theory of
Equations and Differential Equations.
Three hours a v\reek. Elective for Seniors.
Philosophy and Psychology
PROF. SENTELLE.
Philosophy is sometimes called the queen among sciences.
It seeks for the why, the wherefore, the reasons of things. It
seeks to express itself in great regulative principles from
axioms to the final metaphysics which would solve all the prob-
lems of ontology. Every man, from the curbstone loafer to
the most cultivated man of letters, has a philosophy. What
if that philosophy be false? Every false principle and practice,
whether social' civil, political, moral, religious or ecclesiastical
has been justified by it. This department holds itself at liberty
to traverse all human thought and action in vindication of the
true and in refutation of the false.
Course 1 — Psychology, Logic. Introduction to Philosophy.
This course embraces Psychology proper, Logic, and introduct-
ion to Philosophy. A careful study is made of all the powers
and faculties of the human mind on the dualistic basis, as
against materialism and krupto-materialism and the sensualis-
tic philosophy on the one hand, and against all forms of ideal-
ism on the other. Sufficient consideration is given to the so-
called Physiological basis of mental processes. Under Logic
we discuss the discursive faculty, and make a careful study of
all the processes of reasoning, treating it both as a science and
as an art, with the application of all proper tests.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Davidson College Bulletin 43
Course 2 — Ethics, Philosophy of Religion, History of
Philosophy. In this course we aim to set up a sound moral
science as against the false systems which have prevailed,
whether Selfish, Utilitarian, Hedonistic, Rationalistic, or
Altruistic. All the great problems of the ages are brought to
the tests of sound philosophy, and the vicious progeny of a
false metaphysics are hunted out and exposed.
Three hours a week. Elective for Seniors.
Physical Culture
DR. J. W. MacCONNBU*
V. M. OSBORNE, ASSISTANT.
All new students upon entering College, are required to
undergo a thorough physical examination, conducted by the
head of the department. This examination includes a com-
plete record of family history, predisposition to disease, gen-
eral condition of health, together with full anthropometric
measurements and strength tests. The heart and lungs are
carefully examined and the results recorded. No student is
allowed to engage in any strenuous exercise which might en-
danger his physical condition until he has had a thorough ex-
amination made of all vital organs.
It is not the aim of the department to make athletes or
professional "strong men" out of the students, but to so ad-
vise and direct them in exercise and daily habits that they may
attain the highest degree of physical efficiency. The head of
the department is also the College Physician and is in position
to advise the students in regard to the proper prevention of
disease, and daily care of the body. The College Physician
invites the correspondence of the parents in regard to the
health of their sons in College, and will consider such corres-
pondence, of course, as confidential.
In the gymnasium, general class work is conducted by
the assistant and in addition any special exercises are given
which may be prescribed for individuals by the professor in
charge.

Physics
PROF. J. M. DOUGLAS.
MR. G. H. CARTLEDGE MR. S. W. ANDERSON
MR. N. N. FLEMING.
The work in this department extends over three years.
Throughout the course text-books and lectures go hand in
hand with lecture experimentation and laboratory work. Great
emphasis is placed on both the experimental and theoretical
development of the subject by lectures, quizzes, and laboratory
work. Recently, there have been added, and equipped with
modern apparatus, several well-lighted rooms which afford ex-
cellent facilities for laboratory work.
During the three years' course each student is required to
work two and one-half hours per week in the laboratory, under
the guidance and instruction of the laboratory Director. He is
quizzed on each step taken; care and accuracy are insisted
upon. The object is to teach the student to make careful and
accurate observations, and how to draw correct conclusions
from the facts. The sources of error are pointed out, and it
is shown how they can be minimized.
Course i — Elementary Physics. During the fall term the
class studies Matter and its general properties. Elementary
Dynamical Principles and their application to machines, Dyna-
mics of Liquids and Gases, and Elementary Mechanics. The
second term is given to the study of Heat, Sound, Electricity,
and Light. The only mathematical knowledge necessary to the
successful prosecution of the course is an acquaintance with the
elements of Algebra and Geometry, and of the Metric System,
which is used throughout the entire course. The facts are ex-
plained by numerous familiar lectures and illustrated by daily
experiments.
Three hours a week. Elective for Sophomores and Juniors.
Course 2 — Advanced Physics. This course is a continu-
ation of the first year's work. It is designed to suit the needs
of students who take Physics merely as a subject in general
education ; as a preparation for general scientific work, such as
Davidson College Bulletin 45
Medicine, Astronomy, and Engineering ; and for those who ex-
pect to pursue advanced work in this department.
Prerequisites. — Physic 1, and Mathematics 2.
Three hours a week. Elective for Juniors.
Course 3 — Electricity. This course is confined to the de-
partment of Electricity, and is made both practical and thor-
ough. During the first term direct currents are studied. The
second term is devoted to alternating currents.
A complete set of laboratory experiments and problems
are worked by the students pari passu with the study of the
text. The useful application of these principles to the dyna-
mos, motor, transformer, induction coil, lighting, etc., are
studied.
Prerequisites. — Physics 2, and Mathematics 2.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASSES.
For the Junior and Senior years the candidates for the B.S.
degree must successfully complete ten of the various elective
courses offered for these years, at least four of which must be
scientific or mathematical. The B.S. course must include not
less than four years of foreign languages. All selections are
made with the advice and approval of the Faculty or its repre-
sentative.
SUMMARY.
The B.S. degree, as will be seen from the above schedule,
requires the same number of College courses, twenty-one,
and practically the same number of recitation hours as the four-
year A.B. course. Although during the latter half of the
course the larger part of the student's time is spent in the vari-
ous laboratories, this work is regarded as outside study, and
50 Davidson College Bulletin
does not take the place of any of the required sixty-five recita-
tion-hours.
For Master of Arts
Resident: i. Any five elective Junior or Senior studies
not previously taken, or
2. Graduate work for a full year in some special depart-
ment, the course in each case to be selected by the Professor
and formally approved by the Faculty. No student is eligible
for such graduate work till he shall have successfully completed
all undergraduate courses in the department chosen.
Non-Resident : — (Offered only to graduates of David-
son College.) A graduate course in some department selected
by the Professor and formally approved by the Faculty. The
work in such a course generally covers several years, the ex-
aminations being always held at the College.
As an additional requirement for the A.B. or the B.S. de-
gree every member of the Junior and of the Senior Class is
expected to prepare and deliver publicly an original oration.
The Juniors deliver theirs during the week in which the 22nd of
February falls, and the Seniors theirs about the first of April.
These orations are subject to the following regulations:
Juniors shall hand their orations to the Professor of Eng-
lish for criticism not later than February 1st. Seniors shall
hand in theirs not later than March 10th.
When two-thirds of a student's courses are among those
ranking as Junior electives he becomes subject to this require-
ment. The Senior oration is required during the session in
which the student expects to graduate.
The completed orations shall not exceed 1200 words. The
Professor of English is empowered to pass upon their quali-
Davidson College Bulletin 51
ity and to reject such as do not seem to reach a proper
standard.
A student who, during the session, has taken part in the
public preliminary to an Inter-collegiate Debate, may, if he
desires, be excused from his Junior or Senior oration for that
year.
Text Books
The following lists are given to indicate the general class
or grade of text-books in regular use, it being understood,
however, that each professor exercises the privilege of chang-
ing any text-books in his department whenever he may deem
it advisable to do so. In addition to the text-books mentioned
below there is being developed a special library for each de-
partment of the College, and the student is constantly being
referred to works in the departmental collection. In some
cases the special library is located in the room of the depart-
ment concerned; in others it has convenient quarters in some
one room in the College library.

Attendance, Examinations, Standing
Every student is expected to be present the morning the
session opens in September, and to attend College chapel every
morning, church service once every Sunday, and all his reci-
tations every day until the session closes at the end of May.
Any student who, during any one term, absents himself
ten times from chapel or five times from other regular Col-
lege exercises without furnishing explanation satisfactory to
members of the faculty shall be disciplined by the Faculty.
A student whose attendance on College exercises is persistently
irregular and unsatisfactory may be required at any time dur-
ing the term to withdraw from College.
All students who are absent from not more than five
College exercises during the entire year are announced on
Commencement day as being on the Punctuality Honor Roll
and their names are published in the next annual catalogue of
the College.
Every student is required to stand a written examination
in each of his College courses in December at the end of the
fall term and in May at the end of the spring term. The
grading is upon a scale of ioo. The passing mark is 60 for
Freshmen, 70 for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. The
final grade for a term in most cases is made up of term-
standing (in recitations, laboratory and written work) and
final examination mark, the term-standing being considered as
of double the value of the examination in determining the
final grade. In figuring the grade for the entire session the
longer spring term is considered as being of double the value
of the fall term. In calculating the student's average in all his
courses combined the number of recitations in each course is
considered.
No student who does not succeed in making the passing
grade in at least two courses will be permited to remain in Col-
lege the following term, except by special action of the Fac-
Davidson College Bulletin 57
ulty; while those who do not make the passing grade in at
least a majority of their courses shall be considered as remain-
ing in College on probation.
All students taking a full course who attain an average
of 95 or more for an entire session are thereby placed on the
Scholarship Honor Roll and their names are read out on Com-
mencement day and published in the next annual catalogue.
Those three members of the graduating class who attain
the highest general average for their entire College course
are awarded the three highest distinctions, and on Commence-
ment day they deliver the Valedictory, the Salutatory, and the
Philosophical Oration, respectively.
A report of each student's grades and attendance is sent
to parent or guardian at the end of each term, and a much
more detailed report of scholarship, diligence, punctuality,
conduct, etc., is generally sent about the middle of each term.
Every regular student working toward a degree, who may
have entered college with conditions, i. e., with fewer than 14
units, is required to have these conditions removed before the
beginning of the Junior year. At the beginning of the Senior
year every student who desires to rank as a Senior and sit with
the class must in addition, have completed 14 College tickets
(or 28 half-tickets) of the 21 required for graduation. As
these regulations went into effect in September, 1909, excep-
tion may be made in case of certain students who entered
College prior to that date.
Professors are authorized at present to give re-examina-
tions to Seniors until April 1st, though not to other students
during the regular work of the term.
Library, Laboratories, Museum
Library
About twenty-five years ago the libraries of the College
and of the two literary societies were consolidated under the
name "Union Library." From that time until 1910 the li-
brary occupied a large room in Chambers Building — a room
which at the same time was used as a museum. The rapid
growth of the library in recent years rendered the accommo-
dations inadequate. The liberality of Mr. Carnegie has re-
lieved the difficulty and the library is now comfortably
housed in its new and spacious quarters.
The library contains more than 25,000 bound volumes, at
least half of which are new and useful books purchased
within the past twelve or fifteen years. Besides these the
library contains a large number of valuable pamphlets and
other publications not bound. These are all in place in
attractive new steel shelves with which the library has recently
been furnished. Space and shelf room will permit the library
to grow to practically double its present size. There is a sub-
stantial fund set apart annually for the purchase of new
books to meet the needs of the several departments of
the College and of the student body as a whole.
In the summer of 1910 the entire library was catalogued
anew by experts according to the Dewey System. The card
index arranged by subjects and by authors makes it possible
to find immediately any work in the library. The students
have direct access to index and to the stacks- just as the pro-
fessors have. This is a privilege usually denied to students
elsewhere,- — one of great educational value to the student. The
fact that it is not abused by the students of Davidson is a com-
pliment to the character of the student body. The value of the
library to the student body is greatly enhanced by the presence
of a librarian of expert training and long experience in the
work. There are a number of quiet rooms in the library, well
Davidson College Bulletin 59
furnished with tables and chairs, to which the student may
repair for study. The library is open every week day from
2 to 5 p.m., for study and for obtaining books. A student
may retain a book two weeks, at the end of which period the
time may be extended once for another fortnight.
The reading room, not in immediate connection with the
other rooms of the library, is open from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. to
all members of the College. On its various tables are found
55 of the leading monthly or weekly magazines and journals,
some of a popular character and some technical. The news-
paper racks contain 11 daily papers coming from various sec-
tions of the country, from New York on the north, to Florida
and New Orleans on the south and west. Other racks hold
6 of the leading religious weeklies.
Laboratories
Five laboratories have in the course of years been devel-
oped in connection with the work in the several scientific de-
partments of the College. As some of these departments were
established at an earlier date in the history of the College than
others, their laboratories are now more complete. These lab-
oratories, carefully built up under the direction of men of full
university training, have cost many thousands of dollars. Ap-
propriations and fees render it possible to make constant ad-
ditions and to keep them abreast of the improvements of the
day.
ASTRONOMY.
This department is equipped with a 5-inch refracting
telescope made by Clark & Sons, and has the use of the lantern
with numerous astronomical slides, the sextant, maps, charts,
and all the other equipment of a modern Physical Laboratory.
BIOLOGY.
This laboratory is fitted up for forty-eight students. It
contains a complete outfit of tables, microscopes, dissecting in-
struments," specimens and models. This outfit is being added
to yearly as the demands increase.
60 Davidson College Bulletin
Each student is furnished with a compound microscope,
stains and reagents for mounting specimens, and abundant
material for dissections.
chemistry.
The department of Chemistry makes use of an entire
building which contains stock room with abundant supplies of
chemicals, arrangements in the large lecture room for exper-
iments by the Professor and his assistants ; room equipped
with material for quantitative and other advanced work for
twenty students ; balance room ; the Professor's private labora-
tory. Other features are the Minor Laboratories for begin-
ners, containing desks for thirty-six and lockers for seventy-
two; the Qualitative Laboratory with desks for thirty-six,
with adjoining stock and fume rooms. Each student has four
feet of desk space, with private drawers and lockers for the
safe keepingof his apparatus, and is provided with sink, gas,
water, filter pump, and has fume rooms or hoods in easy reach.
geology and mineralogy.
There is a supply of tables, gas, and other apparatus nec-
essary for practical work in Mineralogy as well as Geology.
In addition the department has at its disposal the splendid
cabinets of rocks, fossils, etc., found in the College Museum.
These cabinets have been accumulating for fifty years. Be-
sides numerous smaller additions by gifts, exchange, and pur-
chase, the "Brumby Cabinet" was added by purchase, contain-
ing one thousand two hundred minerals, three thousand fos-
sils, and one thousand one hundred recent shells ; there was
added by donation the Oglethorpe University Cabinet, contain-
ing about one thousand five hundred minerals ; and also a col-
lection of shells given by former State Geologist Kerr. The
whole consists of over ten thousand specimens.
As soon as it is financially possible to do so the large room
in Chambers Building recently vacated by the library will be
fitted up anew for the museum. The collections will be class-
ified by an expert before the opening of the fall term, and will
then become both an important factor in technical work in the
Davidson Coixege Buixetin. 6i
department and a display of general interest to both students
and visitors.
PHYSICS.
Besides the four rooms long occupied by the department
of Chemistry, the department of Physics now has a new
laboratory 25x75 feet in dimensions, with abundant room for
experiments of all kinds. The laboratory is equipped not only
with a large quantity of apparatus for the simpler experiments
in electricity, but also with many expensive instruments for
work in Advanced Physics. Besides numerous storage cells
for a certain class of work the laboratory is abundantly sup-
plied night and day with current from the Southern Power
Co. Any voltage desired, up to 440 may be used, and this
gives unusual facilities for all kinds of work in electricity.
$L
Societies and Organizations
LITERARY.
There are two literary societies — the Philanthropic and the
Eumenean — conducted by the students, each in its own hall.
The majority of the students belong to these societies, the
membership of the two being practically equal and the quality
of work similar. Both are well conducted, and afford oppor-
tunities for training in debate, declamation, composition, pub-
lic speaking, and parliamentary usage. They have two regular
meetings, Saturday night and Monday morning. They both
award annual prizes for excellence in literary and rhetorical
exercises as follows :
i. Debater's Medals.
2. Essayist's Medals.
3. Declaimer's Medals.
An Orator's Medal is given jointly by the Societies to
the winner in the Junior Oratorical Contest, held on Tuesday
evening of Commencement week.
The two societies jointly choose a board of editors and
managers, and publish "The Davidson College Magazine."
This publication is issued eight times a year during the College
session. It contains much material of interest to the general
reader and especially to all friends, patrons and alumni of the
College.
The training given by these societies is a most valuable
part of college education, and every student is urged by the
authorities of the College to become a member of one of
them, and take an active part in its exercises.
RELIGIOUS.
The center of the religious life of the College is the Young
Men's Christian Association. This is one of the strongest and
most vigorous college associations in the country. Three-
fourths of the students are members of it, its various depart-
Davidson College Bulletin 63
ments are fully organized, and its representatives attend the
various local, state and national conventions. It conducts a
weekly religious service which all members of the College are
invited to attend. Other features of the work of the Associa-
tion are its weekly Bible and Mission Study classes, the
monthly meetings of candidates for the ministry, the meetings
of members of the Volunteer Mission Band, and the Mission
Sunday School work in which members of the Association
engage in the neighborhood of the College. At the opening
of the College session in September the Association usually
has committees to meet new students upon their arrival and
render them all possible assistance in getting located. The first
Monday night the Association gives a formal reception in
honor of the new students, to which all students, Professors,
village people, and visitors are invited. The Association also
publishes annually a handbook of information about the Col-
lege that is invaluable to all students, new and old. Under the
auspices of the Association a popular Lyceum Course is given
for the benefit of both members of the College and citizens of
the town.
The advantages derived from membership are in every
way such that the authorities of the College strongly urge
every student to join the Association and avail himself of all
its benefits.
ATHLETIC.
The General Athletic Association directs the athletic af-
fairs of the College, under the supervision of the Faculty rep-
resentative. The Association makes out the schedule for the
different teams through its managers and executive committee,
employs the coaches and awards the prizes and honors to the
winning teams and individuals.
It is the earnest desire of the Association that each stu-
dent shall join the Association as soon as he enters College, for
the fee of five dollars gives free admission to all games played
on the home grounds and permits one to use the athletic sup-
plies belonging to the Association.
The high standing that Davidson has taken in inter-col-
64 Davidson College Bulletin
legiate athletics in the last few years has been due to the in-
creased interest of the students in the general Association. It
is hoped that each alumnus will join the alumni department
of the Association, and thus help the further development of
the College along athletic lines.
All money from receipts from games, and from dues is
placed on deposit, and can be checked against only by the Asso-
ciation treasurer upon presentation of proper vouchers. The
books of the treasurer are audited regularly by the Faculty
representative. Subscriptions to the General Athletic Asso-
ciation may be mailed to the treasurer of the Association or to
Dr. J. W. Mac Connell, the Faculty representative.
Each athletic team is allowed a limited number of days
away from College for the games with other colleges and each
team is accompanied by a Faculty representative.
ATHLETIC REGULATIONS.
1. All athletic teams, organizations, and affairs are sub-
ject to the supervision of the Faculty through its standing
committee on athletics.

6. The expenditures of the Athletic Association shall be
under the control of the Faculty committee on athletics, and
all accounts shall be audited and approved by this committee

Prizes and Medals
Besides the prizes and medals mentioned in connection
with the two Literary Societies there are two other medals
which were established to stimulate ambition on the part of the
students both as to scholarship and as to oratory.
THE WILLIAM BANKS BIBLICAL MEDAL.
The family of the late Rev. William Banks, long a Trus-
tee and President of the Board, founded a medal in honor of
his memory, to be given each year to that member of the grad-
uating class who shall have completed the entire Biblical course
with the highest distinction.
SENIOR ORATOR'S MEDAL.
On Commencement day the three honor orators and three
other members of the graduating class selected on the basis of
their previous success in oratory, compete for a handsome gold
medal known as "The Faculty Orator's Medal."
Expenses
The expenses of life at any College are divided into two
classes: ist, College Fees, which can be accurately summed up,
and 2nd, Living Expenses, which vary so widely with the
individual tastes and habits of the student that they can only
be estimated.
COLLEGE FEES.
Tuition - $60 00
Incidental Fee 15 00
Electric Light — 3 00
Medical Attendance 4 00
Library Fee 4 00
Commencement Fee (not paid by members of Lit. Societies) 1 00

Davidson College Bulletin 67
These fees are payable one-half at the opening of the fall
term and the other half at the opening of the spring term
about January 1st.
In addtion to the damage deposit in the above list of fees,
the members of the Sophomore Class in Chemistry make a
Laboratory deposit for breakage of $1.50, payable, as are all
College fees, half in September, the remainder in January.
Both of these damage deposits are returned at Commence-
ment, less the actual amount of damages to rooms, furniture,
etc., or the breakage of laboratory apparatus.
Should the damage account against any student reach
$2.00 at any time during the year, he must deposit an addi-
tional two dollars with the Bursar as soon as notified of the
fact.
To these fees must be added the amount due for room-
rent, which varies according to circumstances.
(room rent for each student)
One-windowed Unfurnished rooms $20 00
Double-windowed Unfurnished rooms 25 00
Furnished rooms in village residences adjoining the campus.... 25 00

fall term, the other half January 1st.
Should these dates prove inconvenient, parents or pros-
pective students should correspond with the President or Bur-
sar with reference to special arrangements.
laboratory fees.
For the maintenance of the Chemical, Physical, and
68 Davidson College Bulletin
Biological Laboratories the following fees per annum are col-
lected :
Sophomore Chem $3-00
Sophomore Physics 3 00
Sophomore Biology _ 3 00
Senior Org. Chem 5 00
The above are generally collected in September, that the
laboratory supplies for the year may be purchased at the
opening.
Junior Physics _ $10 00
Junior Chem 10 00
Senior Physics 10 00
Senior Anal. Chem 10 00
The above are collected one-half in September, the re-
maining half in January. Any student, new or old, who fails
to report to the Bursar within one week of the opening of each
term will, at the end of that period, be subject to Faculty dis-
cipline.
LIVING EXPENSES.
Table board at Davidson costs $7.50, $8.00, $10.00, $11.00,
$12.50 or $15.00 per calendar month; washing about 90 cents
or a dollar per month of four weeks ; room attendance about
50 cents per month for each student ; coal about $6.00 per year.
The cost of text-books, like that of room furniture, varies
widely, though it usually ranges from $16.00 to $20.00 a year.
The entrance fees of the various College organizations vary
from $2.00 of the Y. M. C. A. to the much higher expenses of
the Fraternities. There are no fees for the use of baths and
gymnasium, or for the Physical Director.
Outside of the College fees many students bring their
yearly expenses down to $75.00 or $100.00. Others less
severely economical keep their expenses within $150.00, while
no one need spend more than $200.00. This is, of course,
exclusive of clothing and railroad fare.
No one need feel that lack of spending money will de-
bar him from the social or athletic life of the campus, or
deprive him of influence or popularity. College life at David-
son is essentially democratic, and probably a majority of the
leaders among the students are partially working their own
Davidson College Bulletin 69
way through College, or are the sons of parents who can with
difficulty meet their College expenses.
BOARDING HOUSES, CLUBS, ETC.
The public "Mess Hall," or "Commons," where scores
or hundreds of young men take their meals together, with no
lady at the table, and with a salaried manager in charge who
has no pecuniary interest in making the fare or service attrac-
tive, has never found favor with the Davidson authorities,
and will never be adopted except as a last resort.
The Davidson boarding-houses are all private homes,
which take table- boarders. The lady of the family generally
presides at the table, the number of boarders at one place rarely
exceeds 20, rowdyism and discourtesy are unknown, and the
atmosphere of these boarding places is distinctly that of the
home.
The boarding-clubs at Davidson bear no resemblance
whatever to the organizations of similar name and purpose
in other Colleges and Universities. They are distinguished
from the family-boarding houses only in the financial arrange-
ments and incidentally in the greater number of students. The
lady of the house purchases all provisions and serves all meals
in her own dining room. At the close of the month the actual
cost of the provisions purchased during the month is divided
among the boarders, and in addition to this each one pays the
lady of the house $2.00 for her own labor, and the expenses
of cooking, serving, house-rent, etc. Nearly half the students
at Davidson thus obtain good, wholesome, and abundant food
in these private homes at an average of about $7.50 to $9.00
per calendar month, or sixty to eighty dollars for the College
year.
The athletic teams, etc., visiting Davidson during the
College session all seem much surprised at the unusually good
fare and remarkably low prices of the Davidson clubs and
boarding houses. Scores of old students have made the remark
that the longer their boarding-house experience since leaving
Davidson the more their wonder grows at the Davidson fare
and Davidson prices.
Scholarships, Assistance, Self-Help
STUDENT SELF-HELP.
Nearly one-half the students matriculating at Davidson
assist in meeting the expenses of their College course, a large
per cent, maintaining themselves entirely. Among these are
found many of the ablest, most popular, and most influential
students at Davidson in every class. Many work during the
vacations as teachers, clerks in summer-resort hotels, or as
agents and canvassers, some making enough during the sum-
mer to meet all College expenses for the year. Others during
the term act as janitors for the College, the Y. M. C. A., and
the Literary Societies, as waiters on the tables of the boarding
houses, and as tutors or laboratory assistants, or help support
themselves by hair cutting, wood-sawing, copying, type-writ-
ing, stenography, etc. The most fruitful field for self-help,
however, is in acting as agents for houses supplying clothing,
shoes, hats, fountain-pens, athletic goods of every description,
furniture, and everything else needed by their fellow-students,
or for steam laundries, laundry-clubs, boarding-clubs, etc.
Students desiring positions should file their names with the
President's Secretary.
Success in most of these occupations depends on natural
talent, but also on personal influence and acquaintanceship.
Hence they are hardly available to a new student during his
first term, but afterwards become more and more fruitful as
a source of revenue and a means of self-help.
ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY STUDENTS.
Davidson offers free tuition to the sons of ministers of
all denominations, and to candidates for the Gospel ministry
of all denominations, if they have been formally received as
candidates by their church authorities.
The Societas Fratrum is a Students' Aid Society whose
object is to assist needy and deserving students by loans of
Davidson College Bulletin 71
money to be repaid out of their first earning after leaving
College.
The James Sprunt Ministerial Loan Fund has been
founded by a philanthropic friend of Christian education to
assist in the same way needy candidates for the ministry.
The J. D. Woodside Loan Fund of $1,000 and accrued
interest was established in 1910 by Mr. J. D. Woodside, of
Greenville, S. C, one-fourth of this amount being available at
present. This fund is available for worthy and needy students
who can give valid security. The notes begin to bear inter-
est when the students leave College at the rate of six per cent,
per annum and must be settled out of the first earnings of the
beneficiaries after leaving College. The beneficiaries shall
advise Mr. Woodside in writing of the settlement of their
notes given to the College.
Twenty-four Scholarships have been founded by benevo-
lent persons for the assistance of needy and worthy young
men working their way to a higher education. Of these, two
pay all College fees, ten pay the incumbent's tuition, and the
remainder pay the holder's room-rent and incidental fee.
On account of the great number of worthy applicants it
has become quite common to divide a scholarship among sev-
eral applicants.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Presbyterian Church of Salisbury has established
five scholarships, as follows :
1. The Maxwell Chambers Scholarship — of $1,000,
which pays the tuition of the beneficiary.
2. The William Murdoch Scholarship — of $1,000, which
pays tuition.
3. The J. J. Summerrell Scholarship — of $500, which
pays other College dues, to wit : Room-rent and Incidental fee.
4. The J. J. Bruner Scholarship — of $500, which pays
other College dues.
5. The D. A. Davis Scholarship — of $1,500, which pays

ministerial scholarships.
Davidson College esteems it a high privilege to train, free
of charge, the future religious leaders of the Church. Her
friends, however, are beginning to realize that the greatness
of her service in this work for the Church entails a financial
burden to which her resources are hardly equal. A move-
ment, therefore, has beeen inaugurated looking to the endow-
ment of a number of Scholarships of $1,000 each, whose
income shall counterbalance the loss of these tuition fees. As
the actual cost of the tuition of each student is twice the
sixty-dollar tuition fee, the donor who establishes such a
Scholarship shares with the College for all time the high privi-
lege of training for enlarged usefulness and consecrated lead-
ership the future ministers of the Church. The following

General Information
LOCATION.
Davidson College is beautifully located in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina, on the Southern Railway, midway be-
tween the towns of Charlotte and Statesville, and twenty-two
miles from each. The railroad from Roanoke, Va., and Wins-
ston, N. C, to Charlotte also passes Davidson. A thriving and
interesting village of a thousand inhabitants, called Davidson,
has grown up with the school since its founding in 1837.
RAILROAD FACILITIES.
The College is easy of access, having six regular passen-
ger trains a day, each carrying mail, and making close con-
nections at Charlotte, Mooresville, Statesville, and Barber
Junction for all points North, South, East or West. It has
also local and long distance telephones, express and telegraph
facilities, etc.
SAFEGUARDS.
The location insures health, being on the line of the high-
est ground between the Yadkin and the Catawba. It is suffi-
ciently remote from larger cities or towns to escape their
temptations and excitements. By a law of the State no
intoxicating liquors can be sold within a radius of three miles,
while as a matter of fact, there are no open saloons within the
State. Few places are so free from temptations to vice and
extravagance.
SOCIAL ADVANTAGES.
Few villages of the same size furnish equal social ad-
vantages. The faculty and the villagers alike do all in their
power to give the students a home-life.
THE CHARACTER OF THE STUDENT BODY.
It is not too much to say that the student-body at David-
son is unique among institutions of learning. It is the en-
thusiastic testimony of practically all students coming to Da-
vidson from other institutions that the moral atmosphere is
Davidson College Bulletin 79
strikingly different from anything they had known before.
The habits and traditions of the College are all in favor of
purity, sobriety, and gentlemanly conduct. The students are
a picked body of men, representing the finest home-training
of the South. Probably two-thirds of them are the sons of
Church officers, representing every State in the South. On
the average about nine out of ten are themselves professing
Christians, and one in every five has chosen the ministry of
the Gospel as his life's work. It is not too much to say, then,
that the Davidson student-body represents the flower of
Southern culture and home-training. To spend the four for-
mative years of College life among such associates, to select
one's life-long circle of College friends from such companions,
is an inestimable privilege. Those can best appreciate it who
know from long College experience the irresistible moulding
force of campus sentiment and tradition on the immature,
plastic, hero-worshipping boy, exposed for the first time to
its contagious fascination.
Let it be distinctly understood that no claim is made that
there are "no bad boys at Davidson." The authorities, sorrow-
fully admit that it seems impossible to gather together 350
young men, all of whom shall be pure-minded, upright, and
honorable. Even at Davidson a young man, if he will, can
find undesirable associates. Yet this class is small, uninfluen-
tial, and opposed to campus habits and ideals. Its members
are rigorously eliminated by the Faculty as soon as their true
character is discovered.
STUDENT SELF-GOVERNMENT
The Honor System began at Davidson in the early history
of the College. The students themselves are its sternest
guardians and executors. It is in these latter times enforced
through "The Student Council." This Council is composed of
fourteen members, of whom the president of the student body
and the presidents of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore
classes are ex officio members, the first named being also presi-
dent of the Council. The remaining ten members consist of
five Seniors, three Juniors, and two Sophomores, chosen by
80 Davidson College Bulletin
the respective classes in May each year. A member chosen by
the Freshman class is admitted to the Council after Christ-
mas. Every student in College is on his honor to report to
the Council any violation of honor or any other practice which
is a disgrace or a nuisance. The students themselves enforce
respect on the part of all for College property and for the
comfort, health, and reputation of the student body. The
Student Council, while without legal authority, is the repre-
sentative of the whole student body in its dealings with indi-
viduals, and it freely exercises this social authority in dealing
with refractory cases and enforcing the Honor System; all of
its decisions, of course, being subject to the ultimate authority
of the Faculty, as a court of final appeal.
ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB.
This organization consists of students who have some tal-
ent as regards voice or the use of a musical instrument. It
is open to all who may be capable of developing into efficient
members. The organization has the usual officers of an
orchestra and glee club. Its members practice regularly and
have piano and large hall at their disposal. They furnish the
music at public College functions and give public perform-
ances, especially during vacations, in the leading towns and
cities of the Carolinas and adjoining states.
THE COLLEGE INFIRMARY.
The arrangements for the care of students who may be
sick are unusually complete and satisfactory. The College In-
firmary is located within a hundred feet of the edge of the
campus, yet is quiet and secluded. It is fitted with electric
lights, call bells, hot and cold baths, etc. Dr. J. W. MacConnell,
the College Physician, has his office in the building, and every
occupant is under his hourly care and supervision. Mrs. Alice
Robson, a trained nurse of long and successful experience,
has entire charge of every patient. The College furnishes
room, furniture, and fuel free, and employs Mrs. Robson. The
charges for board are only $3.50 a week.
MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.
At the regular annual meeting of the Board of Trustees,
Davidson College Bulletin 8i
in May, 1907, a forward step was taken which marks a new
era in the physical care and training of the students.
A full Professorship of Physical Training was established,
and J. W. MacConnell, M.D., Resident Physician of the Pres-
byterian Eye and Ear Hospital, Baltimore, elected as the
head of the new department. Dr. MacConnell will not only
direct and control all gymnasium, field, and track training,
but will have under his personal care and professional attend-
ance all cases of sickness or accident.
The Medical fee of $4.00 per year pays for all ordinary
medical attendance and for all surgical attention in case of
accident or emergency. It does not include medicine or dress-
ings. In all cases of indisposition a student should call on Dr.
MacConnell for expert advice without delay.
athletic day.
A day in April, generally the second Saturday, is set
apart to be spent in contests for suitable prizes, under the
control and direction of the Athletic Association and the gen-
eral supervision of the Faculty. There is no admission fee,
and the public is cordially invited to witness the contests.
Three trophy cups are contended for in the inter-class athletic
games. The football trophy is a large silver cup given to the
class that wins the largest number of class football games in
the spring contests. A handsome loving cup, given by the
class of 1909, is awarded to the class winning the highest per-
centage of baseball games in the class contests. Another silver
loving cup, known as the "Alumni Trophy Cup," is given to the
class winning the highest number of points at the annual Field
Day exercises. Each of these cups is held by the winning
class for one year, and if won three years in succession be-
comes the property of the class.
WALKING, BICYCLING, ETC.
The famous macadam roads of Mecklenburg County ex-
tend from Davidson in three directions, East, South, and
West. These furnish fine tracks for running, walking, bicy-
cling, etc., even in mid-winter. Thus no student can be de-
&2 Davidson College Bulletin
barred, on account of roads or weather, from taking his reg-
ular out-door exercise.
NEW ATHLETIC FEATURES.
A substantial donation has recently been made to the Col-
lege by a citizen of New York for the purpose of developing
a dozen new tennis courts and building an open air play-
ground. The materials have already been ordered for the
playground and arrangements made to have the apparatus in
place before the end of the present session. This will be an
especially attractive feature to those students who are too
pressed for time to get their exercise from regular ball prac-
tice and who wish to secure sufficient healthy out-of-door exer-
cise with the minimum loss of time.
book agency.
In the absence of a book-store in the town, a member of
the Faculty acts as book agent for the students and supplies
the classes at publishers' price. The profits go to the Students'
Loan Fund.
THE DAVIDSON COLLEGE BULLETIN.
The College issues eight times a year a Bulletin containing
list of students and officers, sketches of alumni, changes in
the curriculum or administration of the College, campus items
of interest, social and athletic events, and general information
concerning the College and its work. A copy will be sent
free of charge to all alumni and friends of the College who
desire it.
THE OTTS LECTURESHIP.
Rev. J. M. P. Otts, D.D., LL.D., in 1893, donated a
fund to Davidson College, the proceeds of which should be
used from time to time in securing and publishing courses of
lectures at Davidson College in defense of Christianity against
current heresies, especially such as may seem directed against
the foundations of the Christian faith.
The first course of lectures was delivered by the founder
Davidson College Bulletin 83
himself, and published by Revel & Co., under the title, "Un-
settled Questions."
The second was delivered by Robt. L. Dabney the year
before his death, and published under the title, "The Atone-
ment."
The third was delivered during the session of 1904-05 by
Rev. J. B. Shearer, D.D., LL.D., and published under the
title, "Modern Mysticism; or the Covenants of the Spirit."
It may be procured from the publishers, The Presbyterian
Committee of Publication, Richmond, Va., or direct from the
author.
RECENT GROWTH AND EXPANDING INFLUENCE OF DAVIDSON
COLLEGE.
During the past eight or nine years the growth of David-
son has been phenomenal. The attendance has increased as
follows (omitting the students of the N. C. Medical College,
some of whom, before its removal to Charlotte, took special
courses in Chemistry and Physics) : 1900-01, 131 ; 1902-3,
174; 1904-05, 228; 1906-07, 285; and during the past year
343. These are all students in the liberal Arts and Sciences ;
the list includes no students in Law, Medicine, Theology, En-
gineering, Pharmacy, etc. ,
In area of patronage the increase is still more remarkable.
In 1900-01 the attendance from other states than North Caro-
lina was 61; in 1902-03, 76; in 1904-05, 99; in 1906-07, 143;
and the list for 1909-10 numbered 174.
The increase in equipment and teaching force has kept
pace with the growth of the College in numbers. The Faculty
now numbers 12 Professors, with nearly as many Instructors
and Assistants. During the past few years its equipment has
been transformed. The chief additions have been : An electric
lighting and power plant, two Professors' houses, the Martin
Chemical Laboratory, the Shearer Hall, the Handsome Rumple,
Watts, and Georgia Dormitories and the Library Building.
During this period the income of the College has been nearly
trebled.
84 Davidson College Bulletin
A Word With High School Students
It is a lamentable fact that many students learn to pass
entrance examinations in Latin, Greek, and English, who can
neither spell correctly nor punctuate properly, and whose writ-
ten work is not only crude and inelegant, but full of glaring
mistakes in grammatical construction. Such a student is not
"prepared for college," and the high school offering him for
matriculation brings discredit upon its training.
In Mathematics many students never learn to attack and
solve problems alone, or to do any reasoning of their own.
Even the solutions of illustrative problems are memorized, and
"originals" in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, are insur-
mountable obstacles till the teacher has solved each one, and
the student committed each process to memory. However
flattering the high-school grades of such a pupil may be, he is
unprepared for college, and will probably be amazed and over-
whelmed by the work required of him in Mathematics.
In Latin and Greek the most common and disastrous de-
ficiency is ignorance of the declensions, conjugations, etc. —
the "forms" of the language. Although a pupil not familiar
with the forms may have read hundreds of pages of Caesar,
Cicero, and Virgil, he is not "prepared" to enter and success-
fully pursue the Ereshman course in Latin. The same may be
said, mutatis mutandis, of preparation in Greek.
A Word With the Teachers
The attention of teachers preparing young men for ma-
triculation at Davidson is especially called to the article enti-
tled, "Some Common Deficiencies in Preparation."
The Principals of our high schools are assured that Da-
vidson College is heartily in accord with them in their efforts
to retain their pupils till they are thoroughly prepared for
College work. The crowding of our Universities and Colleges
with razv, immature, unprepared boys may fill out at a cata-
logue, and give an appearance of prosperity, but is the bane of
our Southern higher education.
Davidson College Bullet |n 85
This custom cripples the high schools and lowers the dig-
nity and scholarship of our Universities and Colleges. Still
more disastrous is its effect on the untrained and immature
boys thus thrown too early into the freedom and temptations
of College life. Even if their morals remain unharmed, they
are generally so discouraged by the impossibility of mastering
their studies, that after a short and partial course, marked by
hopeless struggle and inevitable failure, their College educa-
tion is abandoned in disgust. On the other hand the attempt
on the part of the high schools to retain their pupils till they
are deemed ready for the Sophomore Class is not at all advis-
abe, except under exceptional circumstances.
